	Dave,
	Maybe you'd like to share with us what program you think is the best.
Having had the opportunity to work with Microphone II v3.0, Smartcom (latest),
VersaTerm, Kermit (hahaha!), ZTerm, and other varieties of Mac Comm. software,
I would like to say that the beta version of RR 11.0 looks mighty impressive.
	One thing that needs a little revamping about RR 11.0 is the text editing
features in the scrollback buffer. Geez! It redraws the entire visible buffer
every time anything is selected and then deselected...

	Maybe the original quote should have been changed to:

>>In fact, i'd have to say it's the BEST communications program for any Mac"
                                                                        ^^^
	Personally, since I work with Unix systems a great deal... I have
become quite fond of VersaTerm (mostly because it's Kermit implementation
beats anyone I've seen and no other protocols are "supported" by the
PUCC administration.... bunch of weenies I say!) 

	However, I do await the release of RR 11.0.... and impatiently at that.

   DISCLAIMER: I don't get paid for what I write!  Damn shame, isn't it?
